#mountains #tateyama #Hiroshige #japaneseprint
Having shown you a Chinese #shansui #landscape last time this time one of Hiroshige's lesser known print. There is some exaggeration or perhaps erosion since the late 18th century? but yes Tateyama is not so much one mountain as several peaks grouped together. The mist and fog in the foreground are rising from a lake and the local climate and geography is such that there are lush forests raising from flat bottomed valleys almost subtropical yet small glaciers and snow and alpine habitats around the peaks! And the famous snow corridor!
